Qboon
About the startup
Qboon is an Egyptian startup reshaping the future of branded currency and gift card ecosystems in the Middle East. We provide a digital-first platform that enables retailers, F&B outlets, and supermarket chains to issue, manage, and track gift cards, discount cards, top-up cards, and promotional vouchers—in both physical and digital formats.\r\n\r\nGlobally, the gift card market is booming, valued at $1.4 trillion by 2026, with double-digit growth each year. Yet in the Middle East, the market remains largely untapped, presenting a huge opportunity for brands to modernize customer engagement and unlock new revenue streams. Qboon is building the infrastructure to capture this gap—similar to how Starbucks transformed its gift card into one of the largest branded payment ecosystems worldwide.\r\n\r\nWhat makes Qboon unique:\r\n\r\nEnd-to-End Ecosystem: A merchant web app integrated with existing POS systems, a console app for full lifecycle management, and a powerful analytics dashboard for real-time insights, campaign tracking, and billing.\r\n\r\nSeamless Integrations: Works smoothly with retail POS, e-commerce platforms, CRMs, and payment processors—reducing friction for merchants.\r\n\r\nScalable Technology: Built as a closed-loop solution (brand-specific cards) with a clear roadmap to open-loop systems, multi-brand collaborations, and a digital gift card marketplace.\r\n\r\nRevenue & Growth Partner: Beyond software, we support merchants with strategy, distribution, and corporate networks for bulk gifting, creating new sales channels.\r\n\r\nCustomer-Centric Security: Every card is secure, trackable, and replaceable instantly if lost or damaged, ensuring trust for both merchants and end-users.\r\n\r\nOur mission is simple: to make branded cards in the Middle East as mainstream and culturally adopted as they are in the West—turning gifts into profits, and everyday spending into deeper customer relationships.
